Nigella Quick Collection App



What could be more wickedly delicious than Nigella vibrating in a lucky chap’s trouser pocket? (A rabid rat chewing his 'nads off, I say) For those who find her sugar-coated patter a turn-on, download the cook-teaser to your iPhone for just £4.99. As the domestic goddess ain’t ever going to drizzle and lick her way around your sad bachelor kitchen, this app is the next best thing to the real thing - even if  'real' isn't an adjective I readily associate with Ma Saatchi's TV shtick.  For those short on time but big on taste, the application promises advice, inspiration and recipes for super-quick weekday suppers. Hopefully, these include her 'squink risotto'. But as Nigella is like Marmite -  love it / hate it - reviews at the iTunes store are somewhat mixed. ‘Her linguine with lemon, garlic and thyme mushrooms just smiled at me’; ‘not a PATCH on Jamie Oliver's’; ‘kinda screams money grabbing and taints her brand’ - just some of the opinions ventured. Do I detect that some disappointed customers rate it a wee bit on the  cr-app side? How beastly! Time to comfort yourself with a Big.Hot. Steaming. Mug of yummy cocoa, Nigella.
